Who the skeleton was and how it got buried there were just two of the long-held secrets that had been kept for decades by the residents of Chicken Hill\, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side\, sharing ambitions and sorrows. \nChicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store\, which served the neighborhood’s quirky collection of blacks and European immigrants\, helped by her husband\, Moshe\, a Romanian-born theater owner who integrated the town’s first dance hall. When the state came looking for a deaf black child\, claiming that the boy needed to be institutionalized\, Chicken Hill’s residents—roused by Chona’s kindess and the courage of a local black worker named Nate Timblin—banded together to keep the boy safe. \nAs the novel unfolds\, it becomes clear how much the people of Chicken Hill have to struggle to survive at the margins of white Christian America and how damaging bigotry\, hypocrisy\, and deceit can be to a community. When the truth is revealed about the skeleton\, the boy\, and the part the town’s establishment played in both\, McBride shows that it is love and community—heaven and earth—that ultimately sustain us. \nNew CHJ participants are always very welcome; All CHJ members are invited. \nLet rhonarobbin@yahoo.com know if you are planning to attend\, or if you want to be put onto the CHJ Book Club mailing list.

See listserv for address \nThere are four sections to “Trust\,” a novel by Pulitzer Prize winning author Hernan Diaz. The first is a novel itself\, a fictionalized life of a legendary and enormously successful 1920’s financier in New York City and his wife. The second is an unfinished memoir by the financier presumed by everyone to be featured in the novel. The third is the memories of the unknown young woman hired to help the financier write his memoir. The last is a short story about a woman who could be the wife. Each of them explores the human cost of wealth\, especially in the reality-bending world of capitalism. \n  URL:https://www.humanisticjews.org/event/book-club-trust-by-hernan-diaz/ LOCATION:Member’s residence ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.humanisticjews.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/trust.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250616T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250616T170000 DTSTAMP:20260417T153733 CREATED:20250616T222704Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250616T222740Z UID:10000227-1750060800-1750093200@www.humanisticjews.org SUMMARY:Book Club - Table for Two by Amor Towles DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of Table for Two by Amor Towles. \nThe author writes of this book: \nTable for Two includes six short stories and a novella which I wrote in the last ten years. The six stories\, all set in New York\, mostly take place around the turn of the Millennium. So\, unlike my novels\, they represent a time and place that I have witnessed firsthand\, albeit through the eyes of a fabulist. \n————– \nWhen I finished assembling the collection\, it occurred to me that in most of the pieces\, a critical moment involved a pair of family members or strangers facing each other across a kitchen table to confront some new reality in their lives. I wasn’t conscious of this while writing the stories\, but it must have sprung from a conviction in my subconscious that our lives can often change materially due to a single conversation at a table for two.

Told from seven points of view\, “Eve in Hollywood” describes how one of Towles’s most beloved characters\, the indomitable Evelyn Ross from Rules of Civility\, crafts a new future for herself—and others—in a noirish tale that takes us through the movie sets\, bungalows\, and dive bars of 1930s Los Angeles.
